how much weight are you carrying ? did you take it to the dealer fully loaded ? no point in taking it without all your stuff piled on.

Handling
thanks for the replys, it canrt be overloading as this happening with my partner on the back with no luggage, my bike has manual adjustment only just so i could set it up myself.

with only a pillion the handling of a GS shouldn't change much at all. stick it back to stock settings, is it still not right ? then I'd say there's a malfunction somewhere .

Maybe it's just TL

There is a significant and obvious difference in how the front handles with TL. The front doesn't dip like other 'normal' bikes with standard forks. The TL system actually stabilises the front and reduces the front-back seesaw motion. Instead you get the feeling that the bike just rides back on acceleration and then comes level, never feels as though there is more than balanced weight on the front wheel. This is not a problem with the bike but the way it handles. To plant the front you really need to be up on the pegs and put your weight through the bars whilst braking (Don't try this at home because with ABS you'll be ejected over the handle bars if you don't know what you're doing =) I too when first riding with TL felt like I had no control over the front but over time I began to understand how the bike handles and made do. When I was fully loaded I noticed problems with the rear bottoming out so I opted for Ohlins +2 rated spring at the back and that solved the bottoming when loaded (2up + luggage). Hope this helps. |
